Xiao Qiang looked at the letter in his hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info paper is thin, but in a way, it weighs more than a thousand pounds.

He knows his weakness, his previous self, has always existed as a vassal of the Deng family, except for the Tiger Prison Pass, he does not have much power, especially in the court, the foundation is shallow. This is also why he has just given birth to this ambition, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come to the door and provide him with all kinds of conveniences. Because they also know that if their foundation is too thin, it is difficult for them to pose a big threat to the imperial court.

If you have the support of these people, then everything will be very different.

But there is no free lunch in the world, Xiao Qiang knows this very well, he wants to get the support of these people, so what do he need to pay? Can they pay the price they want? Can you afford it?

He stared at the letter in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "What do they want?" ”

Dai Shulun smiled, "What do they want?" They want the same as before, and that's enough. ”

"Same as before? It's that simple? Xiao Qiang looked at the other party suspiciously.

"Is it easy? It's not easy, right? Dai Shulun said: "What does His Majesty the Emperor want to do now, you won't be able to guess, right?" Collect the rights! His Majesty the Emperor wants to take power, and he wants to break the national policy that our Great Qin has practiced for hundreds of years. All power is to be taken into the hands of one man. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Qiang said: "Didn't the prince also want to concentrate power in his own hands earlier? For this purpose, the prince calculated Li Shuai and drove away the Bian family. ”

"It's different!" Dai Shulun sighed and said: "No matter how much the prince wants to seize power, there is still an emperor and His Royal Highness the emperor watching from above, and there is also a prince next to him, so there are still restrictions." But what if His Majesty the Emperor concentrated power in his own hands? Who's going to keep an eye on him? ”

Xiao Qiang was stunned.

"So a lot of people don't want to be like this, because in this way, their interests will be greatly damaged, so, they need a new spokesperson. Bian Wushuang used to be a choice, but unfortunately, we have been fighting with him for so many years, even if we praise him, he is willing to accept us, but the two sides can never reach mutual trust, so retreat to the second, General Xiao, you are our new choice. Dai Shulun smiled.

Xiao Qiang nodded, and most of the doubts in his heart had gone.

"If it's just that, for me, it's no problem at all. Ming people don't talk darkly, and Brother Dai also knows my ambitions. Xiao Qiang laughed.

"Then you have to do one thing to convince these people that you are the one who deserves everything." Dai Shulun looked at Xiao Qiang.

"What's the matter?" I knew that it wasn't so simple, and Xiao Qiang didn't have anything strange about it, if something that could be obtained so easily, then it wasn't worth it for him to get.

Dai Shulun looked at Xiao Qiang, and suddenly laughed inexplicably: "General Xiao, you told your son about a family last year, and it was Deng Shu, the daughter of Lord Deng Fang, right?" ”

Xiao Qiang didn't understand what the other party meant, and looked at Dai Shulun, "There is such a thing." ”

"Deng Shu, this girl is very familiar to me, not only the country is beautiful, but also knowledgeable, chess, piano, calligraphy and painting are all fine, don't look at it as a girl from the Jiangmen family, but it is not worse than those scholarly families, so the son is really blessed." Dai Shulun said with a smile.

"Brother Dai, what do you mean by this?"

"Those people's opinions are that General Xiao can fulfill this marriage contract, and the day when Gongzi marries Fang Shu will be the time for us to serve you as the Lord." Dai Shulun said slowly.

Xiao Qiang jumped up suddenly, "Are you crazy?" The prince is now a thorn in the emperor's side, a thorn in the flesh, and he won't live long, at this time, you let my son marry Fang Shu, is this to serve me as the master? You're pushing me into the fire pit, right? ”

"General Xiao don't get bored!" Dai Shulun pressed down with his hands, "Sit down and talk." ”

Xiao Qiang sat down with a grunt.

"General Xiao, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, if you want to be a person like the prince, then you must have a choice, people who want to get everything, and in the end they can't get anything. The general won't be unaware of this truth, right? Or, you become a loyal thug under the emperor's command, leaving your fate completely in the hands of the emperor to decide, as for whether the emperor will believe you, General Xiao himself knows it, or, it will become another prince. ”

Xiao Qiang was silent.

Dai Shulun also stopped talking, but stared at him silently.

"I need to think about it." Xiao Qiang finally raised his head and said.

Dai Shulun sneered in his heart, Xiao Qiangkong has ambitions, but he has no decision, he looks forward to everything, wants to get it, but he doesn't dare to take risks, how can such a person achieve great things. Disdain in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest hint, "Of course, this is a big matter, of course General Xiao should think about it." ”

"What must be Lu's attitude?"

"If General Xiao is willing to reach this marriage, Lu will definitely serve General Xiao as the master. The 50,000 troops of Qingzhou County are all General Xiao's wings. ”

"Lou must be credible?"

"Of course, I just came over from him." Dai Shulun said: "You also know that Lu must be a general, and it is difficult to be handsome." Those people couldn't have chosen him at all. ”

"You're right." Xiao Qiang said: "I will seriously consider this matter and then give you an answer." How can I find you if I make a decision? Otherwise, you're going to stay in my tiger prison? You are in danger now, in the Tiger Prison, no one dares to touch you. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I still have a lot to do. I also want to meet more people and get more supporters for the general. Dai Shulun said with a smile: "As for my safety, the general doesn't have to worry, in the Qin State, no one has been able to catch me, it is Yongdu, I also want to go, I can go." ”

Xiao Qiang nodded.

Dai Shulun stood up, "This matter is not in a hurry, the general has enough time to think about it, but it is best to make a decision when sending troops to threaten the Qi army, if the general agrees, he can write to the emperor at that time, asking to fulfill the marriage contract with the Deng family, at that time, even if the emperor is angry, he is helpless against you, let alone dare to take you?" ”

"Brother Dai, are you leaving?" Looking at Dai Shulun, Xiao Qiang asked, "I've already asked them to prepare wine and food, why don't the two brothers have a few drinks?" ”

"Nope." Dai Shulun smiled: "General Xiao, this captain is indeed my sand ant person, and please be merciful to the general's subordinates, don't do anything to him, if the general makes a decision, you can let him inform me, he knows how to contact me." ”

Xiao Qiang smiled: "Brother Dai, I want to know, how many of your people have you placed in my Tiger Prison?" ”

Dai Shulun laughed, spread his hands, and said, "General Xiao, you are a strong man, there must be more than him, but not much, because we must have been one family before?" Isn't it? ”

Looking at Dai Shulun who was laughing away, Xiao Qiang's face became gloomy.

Let his son marry Fang Shu, this idea is naturally extremely vicious, he really dares to ask the emperor to make this request, it means turning against the emperor, and it also shows the world that he wants to set up his own door, replace Deng Hong's meaning, marry Fang Shu, but want to inherit the Deng family's political heritage, resources.

There will be a lot to lose, but there will be no less to gain. He had to weigh the pros and cons.

Walking out of the gate of the military village, the captain officer stood a little shrunken to the side, looking down and not daring to look at him, Xiao Qiang smiled faintly, he was not angry with a small captain officer, and what was there to kill a spy who was exposed, but those who did not show their true faces were terrible.

Without saying a word, he stepped on his horse, took his guards, and left the military village.

Xian Yutong should be coming back, and this matter must be discussed with him.

Dai Shulun is a terrible person, and his words must not be believed, but they must not be fully believed. Although he was reasonable, Xiao Qiang was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

Dai Shulun said goodbye to Xiao Qiang, but did not leave the jurisdiction of Tiger Prison Pass, and in a hidden place, he welcomed a mysterious guest.

With a pool of water and a fishing rod, Dai Shulun fished leisurely, as if he was not a fugitive person, but a leisurely hermit.

The man removed the veil from his face and sat down side by side with him.

"He agreed?"

"You'll have to think about it."

"Will he say yes?"

Of course it will, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good time for him, although the prince is in trouble, the things left behind are still coveted. Xiao Qiang is a greedy person, so he will definitely agree. ”

"Did you really see those people?"

"Of course I have seen it, but it's a pity, adversity sees the truth, and most of those people are the virtues of the grass on the wall."

"Then you still use these to lure Xiao Qiang."

"Do you think Xiao Qiang will go for verification?" Dai Shulun laughed.

"Actually, if he really agreed, it would be good." The person who came thought about it and said suddenly. "Will your plans change?"

Dai Shulun snorted, "Xiao Qiang can't do anything." If we really serve him as the Lord, our fate will still be failure, so my goal will not change, and I must rescue the prince. As long as the prince can leave Yongdu, a certain number of soldiers and horses in Nalu, plus the 50,000 elite soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass, are enough to make the prince make a comeback. ”

"I hope so!" The visitor sighed lightly, "I'll get everything ready at the Tiger Prison." It's just that in this way, we Daqin don't know what it will become? ”

"I can't control that much now, and rescuing the prince is my only goal. As for the rest, after the prince is rescued, let the prince make a decision again. Dai Shulun shook his hand and pulled up the fishing line, and on the hook, a fish was struggling desperately.

"We are all a fish in this world, there is always a hook that will hook us, you, me, Xiao Qiang, no one is an exception."
